Deep Roots in Herne Bay, Ponsonby & Grey Lynn—Who Knows & Loves These Streets

I don’t just sell homes here—I grew up in them.

My award-winning career in real estate grew from the fabric of these neighbourhoods—from early mornings behind the counter at my grandparents’ iconic Havana Dairy (now Salta Café), from low-tide adventures along Herne Bay’s jetties, from the familiar hum of trolley buses gliding past Ponsonby’s villa-lined streets. That was my real classroom: where I learned that what makes a place special isn’t just the houses, but the people—those who show up, speak straight, and never lose sight of what matters.

That connection still shapes how I work today. When you partner with me, you’re not just hiring an agent—you’re gaining someone who knows these streets at a cellular level (and which buyers will love your home before they even step inside). Someone who fights for your priorities like they’re my own, with honest advice, meticulous preparation, and relentless negotiation. And someone who pairs market expertise with authentic connection—transforming what could feel like a transaction into an exciting new chapter.

Tailored to You

Want the full spotlight? Done. Professional styling, targeted marketing, and a campaign that shines. Prefer discretion? Not every sale needs a sign out front. I’ve helped homeowners’ transition quietly—your way, on your terms.

While markets change, my commitment doesn’t. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or just curious, I’ll guide you with clarity, care, and the same ethos I learned at the dairy: great outcomes start by understanding what truly matters to people.

Let’s talk—whether you’re ready to list or just exploring, I’d love to hear what’s next for you.

Testimonials

"Carmen is warm, professional and probably the most organized and hard-working agent you can find. With Carmen, everything is well planned and she always has your best interests on the forefront. She even got hold of beautiful flower pots from her mother’s garden to line my courtyard for the photo shoot and open homes. She really does weave her magic! We had very high numbers coming through the open homes and our house was sold on auction day with a higher than expected figure with several strong bidders. We are so very pleased with the results! Kurien Thomas & Jennifer Siew"
"Carmen completely removed all the stress and worry from renovating, marketing and selling my Beach Haven home. There was so much that had to be sorted out before we could go to market. Carmen took charge, allowing me to focus on my life and career. From endless meetings with builders, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, arborists, carpeting firms, chattels, home staging, marketing materials etc, she did it all. She organised quotes, got the best deals for me and then project managed it. She fine tuned every element to fit the marketing schedule and sales goal like a glove. Her project ran like a well oiled machine that allowed me to sit back, relax and simply cash in at the end of it. I've sold homes before, but never have I had such a pleasant experience. Jake Du Toit & Dean Jones"
